While it’s impossible to agree with all their choices, Edmunds’ list of the 100 Greatest Cars of All Time was smart enough to include the original 1990 Lexus LS 400 at 49th overall, calling it “a brilliant luxury car that bested the Germans in several ways for a lot less money. It invented a brand and reinvented a genre.”

(Disclaimer: the actual order of the cars on this list is ridiculous.)
